The early days of summer

Summer doesn't feel real yet. I keep waiting for school to end only to realize it has and for the last two weeks I've done nothing. Absolutely nothing.

This summer differs from the past. My usual rituals seem dead with the wilting lilacs. I haven't sipped lemonade from mason jars at dusk, soaked up sun while sprawled across the drying grass, or sweated liters while biking around town.

I wait for familiarity. So far, June means starting new things: the library, UWM, and graduation. I'm tired of navigating this new territory. I want my routine back, or at least a new one to implement itself.

I'm really looking forward to my graduation present from my parents. For once I don't know what it is.
